What is Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID)?
Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in the diversification of antibodies. It is primarily involved in somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination of immunoglobulin genes in B cells. These processes are essential for the production of high-affinity antibodies and the adaptive immune response.
